CAUTION!

DO NOT INSTALL OR PLACE THIS UNIT IN A BOOKCASE,

BUILT-IN CABINET OR IN ANOTHER CONFINED SPACE.

ENSURE THE UNIT IS WELL VENTILATED. TO PREVENT

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD DUE TO

OVERHEATING, ENSURE THAT CURTAINS AND ANY OTHER

MATERIALS DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE VENTILATION VENTS.

CAUTION!

THIS PRODUCT UTILIZES A LASER.

USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE

OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN

MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

DO NOT OPEN COVERS AND DO NOT REPAIR YOURSELF.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK

OR PRODUCT DAMAGE, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS

APPARATUS TO RAIN, MOISTURE, DRIPPING OR

SPLASHING AND THAT NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH

LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, SHALL BE PLACED

ON THE APPARATUS.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just pur-

chased is only the start of your musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to

consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your equip-

ment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associ-

ation’s Consumer Electronics Group want you to get the most out of

your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that lets the sound

come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or

distortion—and, most importantly, without affecting your sensitive

hearing.

We recommend that you avoid prolonged exposure to excessive

noise.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level”

adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds “normal” can

actually be loud and harmful to your hearing.

Guard against this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE

your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

•

Start your volume control at a low setting.

•

Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and

clearly, and without distortion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

•

Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage

or loss in the future. After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.

THE FOLLOWING APPLIES ONLY IN THE U.S.A.:

CAUTION:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with

the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of

the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that inter-

ference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equip-

ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-

ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the

interference by one or more of the following measures:

•

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•

Increase the separation between the equipment and re-

ceiver.

•

Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

•

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician

for help.

Any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment

would void the user’s authority to operate this device.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Opera-

tion is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device

may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must

accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

Listening caution

Inside of product

abuse, neglect, mishandling, misapplication, alteration, faulty installation, set-up adjust-

ments, misadjustment of consumer controls, improper maintenance, power line surge,
